Yes, but if you use something like cat, head, less, etc. to view code, or the Python REPL, you’re still going to see the default tab size.

You can set the tabstop with less -x*n*. But ok I see what you mean. I still stand by my point though. If termux doesn’t support setting tabstops and it’s an issue, then it’s a bug in termux, not a reason to level down your formatting standard.
